The Northeast region of the United States was primarily settled by various Indigenous peoples, including the Iroquois and Algonquin tribes. European colonization began in the early 17th century, primarily with the arrival of the English, Dutch, and French. The English established several colonies, such as Massachusetts and Connecticut, while the Dutch settled in areas that would become New York and New Jersey. This blend of Indigenous and European cultures significantly influenced the region's development and identity.
Many German immigrants were Lutherans who immigrated to Australia to escape the persecution. Thanks to wealthy Scottish businessman and chairman of the South Australian Company, George Fife Angas, a deal was struck by Pastor August Kavel to start a new Lutheran settlement in South Australia. Later, in many cases, the German immigrants settled in areas which, by their landscape, reminded them of their homeland.
In 1850, the Northeast region of the United States, including states like New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, was the most heavily settled area in the country. This region had a concentration of cities, industries, and transportation infrastructure which attracted a large population.
Most would have crossed the Atlantic from Europe. A smaller number would have come from Cuba.
